M. R Il. Porter Of Abilene, manager
of the S. Louis Cattle Company, was in
the city last night Mr.. Porter speaks
favora0ly of the condition Of
cattle and Ispge in his neigh
borhood. He says the only thing
stockmen have TO kick about out there is
the low prices to be had for their beeves,
and this he thinks will be remedied in
short time. Losses IN the northwest, the
selling out OF cattle Of all kinds by stock
men au over the country, the number OF
COWS that have been SPACED during the
last year or two and the small number CT
cattle being fed this winter owing to the
scarcity Of feed, will create a scarcity Of
marketable stock mex year that will
bring about 6 f.mer market. Mr.. Porter
has been raising crest desl OF sorghum
and millet for feeding, and, although his
crop was rather light this year
owing TO there being no fall
Tain in time to do any gooj,
he has found sorghum grow
ing successful and Temunerative.
He does not think the present rains will
do any harm III the west to stock proper

Superintendent S. f. Judy Of the Texas
and Pacific was seen at the Union depot
last night and it was learned from him
that the company Is just about up with its
most pressing orders for cars, but it
is expected that 1000 more
carloads of cattle will be shipped over
that road before there will be any slack
ening. When asked il there would be
any let up soon in the shipments Captain
Judy ssid that SIS he came in from Biz
Springs yesterday he could see nothing
all along the road from the
car window but the be ks Of
cattle waiting shipment. There has not
been near so much rain at Big Springs ss
there has been at Fort Worth, and the
weather has been so warm that the stock
have not begun to feel the winter.

Last hight reporter was shown let
ter by Mr. Dulany of Dulany, Wilson &
Maupin, from horse dealer in Eastern
Tennessee giving the prices obtained
there on a carload Of ordinary Texas
horses which he took from Fort Worth
about fortnight ago. After explaining
that, although he had intended 80 hold
the stock week after his arrival at his
marketing place in order to allow them
to recover from the effects of the journey,
they were snaiched up Immediately on
being unloaded, in very poor condition;
the writer goes on to give prices. Asp&U
OF gray three-year-old mares brought
$40; e large gray mare SIS; an ordinary
pinto $40; a span of medium-sized blacks
$165; a gray horse SIS; chestnut
sorreI $50; yellow mare $50;
and bay tbree-year-old mare $50 90
These were all very good animals, but had
nothing superior about them. Theprices
paid and circumstances of the sale give
an idea of what the demand is for the
Texas horses.

One Egg for Ten.

What do you think, my young poul-
try-raisers, of an egg big enough to
feed ten men? A good idea of the
enormous size of an ostrich's egg is
furnished in this dinner story from one
of our Pacific exchanges: One egg for
ten guests, he says, is the pattern at
the California ostrich farm. Zone,
two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight,
nine, ten," said Dwight Whiting,
counting the guests he had invited to
spend the day at tie ostrich farm with
him. 81 guess that one egg will be
enough" Having given utterance to
this expression, he wendell his way to
the paddock and soon brought to the
house an ostrich egg. For a whole
hour it was boiled; and, though there
was then some misgiving as to its being
cooked, the shell was broken, for curl
osity could no longer be restrained, and
a three-pound hard-boiled egg laid upon
the plate. But aside from its size there
was nothingpeculiar about it. The white
had the blush tinge seen in the duck egg,
and the yolk was of the usual color 1t
tasted as it looked, like duck egg, and
had no flavor peculiar to itself. But it
was immense! AS it takes twenty
eight hens eggs to equal in weight the
ostrich egg which was cooked, it is evil
dent that the host knew what he was
about in cooking only one.

Lost Treasures.


" Come, Mamie darling" said Mrs.
Peterson g before you go into the
land of dreams you will kneel here at
my knee and thank your Heavenly
Father for what he has given you to-
day." Mamie came slowly toward her
mother and said: "I've been naughty
and | can't pray, mamma" " If you've
been naughty, dear, that is the more
reason that you need to pray" " But,
mamma, l don't think God wants little
girls to come to him when they are
naughty" "You are not naughty now,
my dear, are you?' "No, / am not
naughty now" "Well, then, come at
once" "What shall l say to God
about it, mamma?" "You can tell
God how very sorry you are" "What
difference will that make?" When
we have told God that we are sorry
and when he has forgiven us then we
are happy as if we had not done wrong,
but we cannot undo the mischief. p"
"Then, mamma, | can never be quite
as rich as if had not had naughty
hour to-day" Never, my dear; but
the thought of your loss may help you
to be more careful in future, and we
will ask God to keep you from SHINING
against him again. "-Erchonge.

What Mary Gave.

She gave an hour of patient care to
the little baby sister who was cutting
teeth. She gave string and a crooked
pin and a great deal of good advice to
the three-year-old brother who wanted
to play at fishing. She gave Ellen, the
maid, precious hour to 90 and visit
her sick baby at home; for Ellen was a
widow and left her child with its
grandmother while she worked to get
bread for both. She could not have
seen them very often if our generous
Mary had not offered to attend the door
and look after the kitchen fire while
she was away. But this is not all Mary
gave. She dressed herself so neatly
and looked so bright and kind and
obliging that she gave her mother a
thrill of pleasure whenever she caught
sight of the young, pleasant face; she
wrote letter to her father, who was
absent on business, in which she gave
him all the news he wanted in such a
frank, artless way, that he thanked his
daughter in his heart. She gave pa
tient attention to long, tiresOme story
by her grandmother, though she had
heard it many times before. She
laughed just at the right time, and
when it was ended made the old lady
happy by goodnight kiss. Thus she
had given valuable presents to six peo-
pie in one day, and yet she had not q
cent in the world. She was as good as
gold, and she gave something of her.
self to all those who were so happy as
to meet her.

Stories of Pretty Poll.

An English paper publishes a num-
Der of interesting and some amusing
parrot stories. One of them might help
to illustrate the proverb, "When the
cats away the mice will play.n A
young couple went away from home
for some weeks, leaving the house
in charge of the servants and a par
rot. After their return the parrot
would repeat from time to time, "Let's
have another bottle, there's no one
here to know" accompanying its words
with the sound of the appropriate
"plop" Another story is not unlike it.
A Yorkshire gentleman had fever,
and his parrot was taken from the
dining-room to the kitchen. During
its abode there of several weeks it stole
the raisins intended for plum-pud-
ding. The cook, in anger, threw some
hot grease at it and scalded its head.
When the master got better the parrots
cage was taken upstairs again, and the
bird, seeing the gentleman's newly
shaver head, said slowly: You bald
headed ruflian; so you stole the cooks
plumsW Some of the stories may throw
light on the question whether or not the
stances. There was cockatoo that never
asked for potatoes except when dinner
was on the table, and never said " Oh,
you are beauty!' except to child.
Dean Stanley, when canon of Canter-
bury, had parrot which, one morning at
breakfast-time, got up into tree and
attracted the attention of all the serv-
ants, who gathered around it. The
canon then came out, when the parrot
looked down at him and said, in low
but distinct voice, exactly like SANKEY'S,
" Let us pray" 1t was evidently re-
minded of the assembling of the serv-
ants at morning prayers. A gray par
rot was stationed in a nursery, where
his greatest delight was to see the baby
bathed. The child becoming sick, the
parrot was sent to the kitchen. There,
after time, he set up a terrible cry,
" The baby, the dear baby" All the
family rushed down to find the parrot,
in the widest excitement, watching the
roasting of a sucking pig.-Popular

Young Man, You will Do.

A young man was recently graduated
from a scientific school. His home had
been a religious one. He was men,
Der of Christian church, had pious
parents, brothers and sisters; his family
was one in Christ. On graduating he
determined upon western life among
the mines. Full of courage and hope
he started out on his long journey to
strike out for himself in a new world.
The home prayers followed him. AS
he went he fell into company with
older men. They liked him for his
frank manners and his manly indie
pendence. AS they journeyed together
they stopped for Sabbath in border
town. On the morning of the Sabbath
one of his fellow-travelers said to him,
Come, let us be off for drive and
the sights" "No," said the young
man, " am going to church. | have
been brought up to keep the Sabbath,
and l have promised my mother to
keep on in that way" His road ac-
quaintance looked at him for moment,
and then, slapping him on the shoulder,
said Right, my boy. began in that
way. l wish | had kept on. Young
man, you will do. Stick to your bring
ing-up and your mothers words, and
you will win" The boy went to
church, all honor to him in that far
away place and among such men.
His companions had their drive, but
the boy gained their confidence and
won their respect by his manly avowal
of sacred obligations. Already success
is smiling upon the young man. There
is no lack of places for characterization

The Vital Question.

The question of prime importance to
one is not, Are you Christian? but
Is Jesus Christ your Savior? These two
questions may seem to aim at the same
point, but they involve very different
processes of mind in the answering;
and herein consists the superiority of
the latter over the former. Your hope
of salvation must not rest on what you
are, but on what your Savior is and
does. If you look at yourself to find
ground of hope you will never be sat
isfied-unless you are deceived. But
if you look at Jesus you can see reason
enough for hope. Jesus Christ came
into the world to save sinners-not
Christians, but sinners. If you are a
sinner you may be sure you are one of
the very class Jesus came to save. If
as sinner you trust yourself to Jesus
Christ as the Savior of sinners he will
not fail you; you may be sure of
eternal safety. The question, Am l
Christian? has troubled many an anX-
ious mind for weary years, and the
more the inquirer pondered it the less
hope there has seemed of its settling.
But there need be no such trouble in
settling the question, Is Jesus Christ
my Savior? Whom did Christ come to
save? Are you one of that class? Do
you want him to save you? Is he able
to do so? Is he willing? Do you trust
yourself to him? These are the ques-
tons for you. The more you look
away from yourself, and the more you
fix your gaze on Jesus, the firmer your
ground of hope will be. There is a
great deal of time wickedly wasted on
determination that might be profit
ably given to the contemplation of the
Savior.-Stdr.

Christ BETRAYED.

And who are the professed Christians
that deliver up Christ and betray their
Master? They are not alone the men
of expediency, like PLATE. They are
more often the lovers of self-gratifca-
ton, like Herod. For awhile they seem
to run well. Their crucial test does
not come till they reach Vanity Fair,
where are displayed on every side the
preferments, the gold and jewels of
the world in glittering profusion. Lit
tie by little their hearts relax their Wig
lance and their eyes wander over the
delights of all sorts" which are
heaped around. They begin to reason
themselves out of their scruples, and
to indulge little and a little more in
things which their hearts tell them are
not favorable to piety--till at last they
quench and grieve away the Spirit.
They adopt the principle of self-indul-
gence, and seek not so much to fit
themselves for heaven as to get all they
can out of the earth on the way. They
cease, in word, to be pilgrims, and
become permanent residents in Vanity
Fair, which is only the City of Destruc-
ton in its gala dress. Wheresoever
their god of pleasure and the pleasure
of God present conflicting claims they
hold to the first and reject the other.
They sink down before the eyes of the
world TO its own level, and perhaps far
below the level of its best names. Men
draw an unfavorable testimony from
their career to the reality and power of
religion, and unbelievers adduce them
as arguments and hold them up as OBJ
jects of ridicule. They cruelty the
Son of God atresh and put him to
an open shame.-Rer. DR.. +. n. H.

THE beauty of woman is her crown

the nervous debility and chronic weak

will restore the faded roses and bring
back the grace of youth. 1t is DIR.
